He probably didn’t just make this video, this is likely stuff the kid does for fun. If thats true, and he practices things like throwing through rafters, this kid may have developed some really specially throwing skills.

Chan Gailey is a master at coaching up QB’s. (Doubt me, look it up). If this kid can play, Chan will know.

Mon, 07 May 2012 19:54:24 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=685263#comment-1770448I liked this guy’s video. Plus he had great stats in actual games, so he’s legit and not some workout freak. I’ll be rooting for the guy to stick with a roster.

Hey, if Tim Tebow can make it as a “quarterback”, why couldn’t this guy?

Spot on!

Mon, 07 May 2012 14:45:38 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=685263#comment-1769693Of course, he did not make every shot on the first throw, but he seems pretty accurate, and has some pretty good credentials, even if they are from a Division III school.

I agree the video makes him look short, but he is 6’4″ per his Wikipedia page:

Saw the video a few days ago and was very impressed with his arm and accuracy. He looks short though, I’d be surprised if he was 6′ tall. Good luck kid!

Mon, 07 May 2012 12:52:49 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=685263#comment-1769485While the video is heavily edited, there are still some pretty f@ckin’ cool throws in it.

-Maybe they did some editing, but he does have some great accuracy. Have you ever seen pro quaterbacks do those tire throws in TV comptetion? Not as accurate as this guy.

– And I guess who ever made the comment abut hitting moving targets didn’t really watch the video? See him hit the guy in the pickup truck running the out route at 60 mph?

Mon, 07 May 2012 12:37:34 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=685263#comment-1769474Saw the video- it isn’t fake from the stand point of “:50-1:00 people appeared out of nowhere”…you could see people warming up & running the track…they were off camera & ran into the shot…

And regardless of how many takes it took, the arm strength & accuracy is impressive.

Also, if it took all day & TONS of takes, you would’ve seen it in the shadows…

You can’t fake the sun.

Mon, 07 May 2012 12:11:53 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=685263#comment-1769449I went to Monmouth College during 3 of Tanney’s full seasons. He definitely had D1 talent. He is also taller than 6 foot, I can tell you that for sure. His accuracy is pretty remarkable and he has good awareness on the field. Has a great feel for the game. His footwork could stand to improve but he has the skills to at least have a shot in the NFL. The Bills have another D3 standout on their roster, Fred Jackson. He is pretty good wouldn’t you say?

Busted.

I wonder how many times he missed some of those trick shots though. And when they finally do pull Fitzpatrick, will Tanney be abe to hit a moving target like that in a full speed game?
